Drug Safety Monitoring Systems

Drug Safety Monitoring Systems are processes established to track the safety and effectiveness of medications after they are approved for public use. These systems collect data on adverse effects, unexpected reactions, and overall drug performance from healthcare providers and patients. By analyzing this information, regulatory agencies can identify potential safety concerns, guide future research, and implement changes, such as updates to drug labeling, to protect public health. Essentially, these monitoring systems help ensure that the benefits of a drug outweigh its risks throughout its life cycle.
